Hello, everyone. Last week, I wrote my Women's Studies Midterm paper, and it got me thinking about feminism and how the definition and purpose is misunderstood by a large group of people. So today, friends, we talk Feminism. What is Feminism? The definition of feminism is  the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes .   So basically, equal rights of the genders in all aspects of life. But it's not only gender-focused. Feminism also involves the advocacy for equality of all races, genders, and sexual identities in  every  aspect of life.  When people think of feminism, the first thing that comes to mind is usually angry women who hate men. But l et me be the one to tell you that this is completely, 100% false. Here are some other misconceptions about feminism you may have heard or that you believe yourself. 1.

Hello, lovely people. It's Monday morning, and yesterday, I decided that it was time for a change. If you are currently reading this, you're probably looking at the blog and saying to yourself, "Why does this look different?" Well, it looks different, because it is. SURPRISE! I am changing the name of my blog to Hello, It's Hannah, how to survive in a world full of chaos, as told by me. This past week, I was feeling down and unmotivated to write, because I was having trouble finding what to write about. I thought that I was running out of post ideas because the title and focus of the blog was preventing me from writing about other things I was passionate about. So even though I will be sticking to the self-care theme for the most part, I am also going to include other subjects that I think need to be talked about. Those subjects include the environment and how to help it, social and political events and information, and just things I feel that every hu...
